lord On Monday he informed the manager
that his name was not Hall, but Walker

as he did was to avoid the newspaper reports

of the Court Of Queens Bench, ordered
their Imprisonment, on an illegal war

the decision, and the priests are once

which they have consecrated their
lives. In the case of the release Of

THE I. N. L. IN AMERICA.

The organization of a branch of the
Irish National League at Hudson, Wis,
Friday evening Of last week was an oc-
casion demanding more than ordinary
notice. The meeting was the second
one held for the purpose, and took
place in Knights of Labor hall. A
large number of ladies and gentlemen
who had interested themselves in the
matter assembled and evidenced by
their presence that the Irish element of
Hudson is an important one. During
the progress Of the ceremonies attend
ing the formation of the branch several
addresses were delivered. Amongst
others who spoke were the newly.
elected officers: President T. III. Hen.
messy, Secretary H. III. Gillen and B.

the best means of making the branch a

which were we'll received.
In connection with the formation of

amiss to remark that the people of Erin
Prairie have first-class material in their
midst to follow the example of Hud-
son. Irishmen who have the cause of
Ireland at heart are numerous in and
around Erin Prairie, and would be only
too happy to cooperate with their Irish
brethren elsewhere in order to work for
the amelioration of the Irish people at
home. All that is required is little
agitation to bring this suggestion to a
successful issue, and we sincerely trust
that the matter will be carefully con-
sidered and acted upon by those inter

NOT SUCH A BAD MAN AFTER ALL

10 an outsider who has not given
much attention to Irish affairs Mr..
Patrick Egan, ex-President of the Ma
tional League in America, may appear
to be very bad man. One thing is
certain, the London Times has en-
deavored to paint. him in ANYTHING but
glowing co]ors. 1t has become Gus
tom with that paper when it attacks a
Nationalist to state that at some time
he associated with Patrick Egan. How
ever, there are many who do not con-
slider such intimacy with MIR. Egan a
terrible crime. The late A. Nj. Sulli-
van belonged to this class. When Mr..
Egan was put on his trial in the Four
Courts for criminal conspiracy or some
other charge, in 1881, he was defended
by Mr.. Sullivan. In speaking of Mr..
Egan, he said: "And my client, Pat
rick Egan, in whom I not only see a
client, but proudly claim friend of
many long year, that friend for whom
1 would cross not merely sixty miles of
sea, but speed from the utter ends of
the world, were he in peril, to give him
my advocacy and aid. He is mer-
chant of this city. Is he a venal agita-
tor? What has be given up? What
has he done in this noble work of
benevolence and patriotism I? Provi-
dence has given to him all that makes
life happy at this side of the grave; a
stainless reputation, a happy home, a
wife whom he loves, children who wait
his football in the hall. I have known
him long. Little as he moved in the
outer circle of public life, he is well
known in every organization in this
city, for the alienation Of the suferings
Of the p ,or. Knowing my friend as I
do. Ishould have called him false to all
his career, false to all the principles Of
his blameless life, if the efforts of the
Land League found him absent from
it's ranks" This was the testimony of a
man who was held in high esteem by
all classes in Ireland. No one despised
crime or a criminal more than Mr.. Sui
Ivan. He was conscientious in all his
actions, and vet he did not consider it a
a disgrace to associate with Mr.. Egan.
Thousands of others could give similar
testimony, and from all would come
the words that he has never been
known to be otherwise than a hard
working, disinterested. high-spirited
and courageous Irish Nationalist.
